I just read that the European Space Agency will build the service module for Orion. This is the slightly narrower cylindrical section behind the conical capsule. It will house the propulsion section, and have room for (eventual) astronaut supplies. Link: http://www.slashgear.com/nasa-teams-with-european-space-agency-for-orion-module-16265598

There is already a thread on that here: Orion To Have European Service Module.
